There is something about the smooth, almost creamy Murray Mint that seems to soothe one’s troubles away. I have first-hand experience of finding myself lost, late, cross and frustrated, and discovering an elderly Murray Mint in my coat pocket. Within seconds of the sweet hitting my tongue, my mood changed to something altogether more ‘Zen’. Better still, that calmer mood led to me finding my destination in minutes. I was but a block away. Curiously, the soothing effect of the Murray Mint lasts only for as long as you suck. The second you crunch, the spell is broken and the soothing quality completely disappears. Heaven only knows what Freud would make of that.
